This is the fourth episode in our CEO Series, in which we will be deep diving into what it takes to be a CEO.

Emma Sinclair is the CEO of EnterpriseAlumni and was the youngest person to IPO on the London Stock Exchange aged 29. She was a regular contributor to The Telegraph, UNICEF’s first Business Mentor and has been awarded an MBE for her Services to Entrepreneurship. In this episode Emma shares how she was constantly finding ways into finance and entrepreneurship, from putting her student loan into the stock market to consistently working harder than she needed to. They discuss leadership, persistence and what she looks for from new hires. They also discuss how her father encouraged her to think differently from a young age; like when they used to play ‘find the best share price’ game in the car everyday to and from school.

Emma also discusses the hidden costs of her work: health, family, holidays and self-care. But, Emma is proud to have an extended family of people who arrived in the U.K under difficult circumstances, she encourages everyone to take the leap and offer help when and where you can.
